Shucks, I'd rather not have to chance platform. An option would be to maintain a "for training" inventory. S&W and possibly HK are potential suitors, the former more than the latter, as I'd prefer a striker fire configuration.

LEM only on HK for me. It's a one trigger pull gun that way, with a 'long' initial take up, so it eliminates the burden of training for two trigger pulls. The DA pull on their newer DA/SA guns is abominable, (HK45 and P30). Way past the the common "it's a safety feature" mantra. It borders on ridiculous.

You also get second strike capability and the ability to ride the hammer while holstering --- if either is your thing.

Ahh, now I recall dry firing a DA/SA P30 in a local shop. I need to familiarize with the LEM for future reference.

I remember when my brother stocked up on a lifetime supply of 3 proof marked, made in W. Germany SIGs. Silly me for not going along. The funny part is we knew this was going to happen.

Anybody a SIG fan? I was browsing in my LGS last week and stumbled across this:

A BNIB W. German Nickel 228. Absolutely unfired sitting in a collector's safe since the early 90s. It came home along with a 9mm Springfield 1911. I think I might need to sell something to avoid buyer's remorse!

Is that nickel plated with german proof makes, on bbl, frame, slide? The 228 is considered one if the best and most reliable service pistols they're produced. O the other hand are those replacement grips?

Envy.

Yes, nickel plated, W. German roll marks, KB dated German proof marks. Absolutely original and unfired. This gun sat in a collector's safe for 20 years. It is still sticky with cosmoline.

Very nice. I believe the bugs have been worked out but definitely keep us posted. A friend just got a 226 and when I tried it I had failure to feed on the fifth round. I was kind of shocked having been used to old Sig quality. The only pistol I have that fickle is the old Gen1 IMI DE .50 but you aren't really supposed to take that seriously though my friend can snipe with that thing. Pretty amazing how accurate he is with it, more so than the 226 ironically.
